MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS ATTACHMENT GLOSSARY Accumulator Used in a hydraulic rotation kit to store hydraulic fl uid to drive the rotation motor. Adjustment Custom-made plates that precisely adjust the lower cutting blades to the upper blades. These plates Plates make it possible to achieve a uniform blade gap on the shear.

Regenerative hydraulic valve mounted on the cylinder of LaBounty® MSD Saber Series shears that increases the shear closing speed (cylinder extend function) when the shear is not under a load, thereby reducing cycle times and increasing effi ciency. Stanley LaBounty uses a spool-type speed valve design for better durability over cartridge-type regenerative valves.
MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS SHEAR MOUNTING PROCEDURE Take note whether yours is a second member or a third member installation. A second member mount is where the shear replaces the excavator stick; a third member mount is where the shear replaces the bucket.
Page 23
MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS SHEAR MOUNTING PROCEDURE continued 7. Extend the cylinder rod or bucket linkage and move into position as necessary to pin this connection. Install shear supplied pin. It may be necessary to use a lifting device (overhead hoist, forklift, etc.) to position the cylinder or linkage correctly.
MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS MOBILE SHEAR START-UP PROCEDURE Air must be bled out of the cylinder prior to operation of the shear. Trapped air in the system leads to cavita- tion, oxidation of the oil, and excessive heat. These conditions promote hydraulic oil break down, contamina- tion, noise, sluggish operation, reduced component life and potential cylinder damage.
MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS MOBILE SHEAR REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Position shear under the boom of the excavator as far as the stick cylinder will extend and lower shear to the ground. 2. Use blocking to support the stick cylinder from the excavator boom.

MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS OPERATING THE ROTATOR if equipped The rotator gives the shear 360˚ of continuous rotation in both directions for easy, accurate processing at all angles. The rotator requires special attention when operating the shear. The rotator is to be used only to position the shear, not as a means of bending, twisting, or breaking material.
MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS NOTICE • The amount of rotation your shear will achieve per fl uid charge depends on the shear model. • Continuous rotation can be achieved by cracking an excavator function that charges the accumulator. • The accumulator needs to be charged with fl uid when the base machine is fi rst started up. The unloading valve is designed to drain to the accumulator whenever the base machine is shut off.

MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS LUBRICATION Regular lubrication of the attachment is absolutely vital to proper operation and long life of the attachment. The speed valve feature accelerates the shear cycle time and allows the shear to open and close more often throughout the day.
1. Always replace bolts and nuts with the same size and class of fastener. Replacement fasteners can be ordered from the Stanley LaBounty Parts Department to ensure the correct part is used (refer to Figure 5-2). Unless otherwise specifi ed, use class 10.9 metric hex head capscrews, class 10.9 metric fl at head cap- screws, and class 12.9 metric socket head capscrews.

NOTICE Full blade kits are available by calling Stanley LaBounty Customer Service at 800-522-5059. For Make sure the blade is well supported before best service, please have the shear serial number removing the blade bolts.
Blade bolts and washers can typically be used for the life of the accompanying blade set. Due to the critical nature of these fasteners, Stanley LaBounty requires that blade fasteners (bolts and washers) be replaced with each set of new blades.
MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS GUIDE BLADE SHIMMING AND ROTATION The guide blade gap is another adjustment that keeps the shear blades in line and ensures the proper opera- tion of the shear. This adjustment should be checked daily. 1. Close the shear until the Saber Tip on the upper shear begins to bypass the guide blade (see Figure 5-8). Use a feeler gauge to check the gap and record it.
